Raising the Hands in the Hadith of 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Samurah

Question:
We have reached his statement: "Raising the hands."

Answer:
This is a point requiring consideration. The apparent view, and Allah knows best, is that this occurred after the prayer; because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was occupied with the prayer and recitation. When he had finished praying, the sun had cleared, and he admonished the people and reminded them, ordering them to say takbir and engage in dhikr. This leans toward the remembrance of Allah, supplication to Him, and seeking His forgiveness. It is possible that he raised his hands on the way, or before entering the area for supplication, or after that, because this narration of 'Abd al-Rahman contains ambiguity and lacks detail. Yes.

Question:
He entered upon him while he was in the final part of the prayer.

Answer:
In any case, the basis is the authentic report, the basis is the explanatory and clear report. Yes. Yes. It is possible that he raised his hands when he made supplication in his sermon, or it is possible that he raised them after the closing salam. It is a possibility. The report of 'Abd al-Rahman is not acted upon here. I direct you to the authentic reports of 'A'ishah, Ibn 'Abbas, 'Abdullah ibn 'Amr, and others. These are authentic and clear reports. Yes.
